Other than that, I don't think there is much to it. As long as a guy is tall, muscular, and white he will be handsome to the majority of women and if he isn't all 3 then good looks just aren't going to be one of the things most women in America describe him as.
I agree with "tall and muscular" being key attributes to being handsome to most....but "white"....I don't think so.

beauty standards would say you are right

what I observed in the real world would say you are wrong about the white part

In the real world, India & China have a billion plus people each. Some men there may be tall & muscular, but few are white. Seems like they don't have a problem finding partners...

In the US, most people are white & they will be drawn to what is familiar to them - other white people. This has & will continue to lessen as there is more exposure to diversity.

I disagree. I believe diversity makes White bias that much more noticeable. Notice how in a lot of the big cities that are "diverse" you see White males dating attractive females of all races but Chinese and Indian males are usually with women of their own race only. You also see in a country as diverse as the US where most of the males that are represented as attractive are exclusively White. I would say someone who is a minority is better off in an area that is mostly White as opposed to a racially diverse area where they might get overlooked compared to someone who is White, this is especially true for males from minority groups.

Are you blind? Indian and Asian men also date white women. Dating with white-Asian and white-Indian is high nowadays, hence the high intermarriage rate for those races.

Maybe once every blue moon but you rarely see many of these couples, especially not with Indian men here in America.

Women are individuals and they decide what is handsome to them personally. Are you thinking men don't do the same thing?

I look for what is on the inside, it far outweighs anything that could ever live on the outside.

I know we all have our individual opinions but there is a general consensus on whether or not someone looks good or not.

Happens all the time in my circles. I used to date an Indian man when I was in my twenties (I'm Caucasian) and I have female Caucasian friends whose husbands are Asian or Indian.
